GUDHI Project           Software for Geometry Understanding in Higher Dimensions

Participants           GUDHI, people.

Description The GUDHI library is a generic open source C++ library, with a Python interface, for Topological Data Analysis (TDA) and Higher Dimensional Geometry Understanding. The library offers state-of-the-art data structures and algorithms to construct simplicial complexes and compute persistent homology. The library comes with data sets, demos, examples and test suites.

    Regina Project           Software for Low-Dimensional Topology

    Authors           Benjamin A. Burton, Ryan Budney, William Pettersson and others.

    Description Regina is a software package for 3-manifold and 4-manifold topologists, with a focus on triangulations, normal surfaces and angle structures. For 3-manifolds, it includes high-level tasks such as 3-sphere recognition, connected sum decomposition and Hakenness testing, comes with a rich database of census manifolds, and incorporates the SnapPea kernel for working with hyperbolic manifolds. For 4-manifolds, it offers a range of combinatorial and algebraic tools, plus support for normal hypersurfaces. Regina comes with a full graphical user interface, as well as Python bindings and a low-level C++ programming interface.
